This book was released on 2008 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication addresses the vulnerability of radioactive material during transport. Given the international concern over acts of nuclear terrorism, it is imperative to have a well defined plan for the security of sensitive materials during transport. This publication provides guidance on implementing, maintaining or enhancing a State's nuclear security regime to protect radioactive material in transport against theft, sabotage or other malicious acts. It will be of use to regulators and to operating personnel engaged in the transport of such material.

Book Security of Radioactive Material in Transport

Download or read book Security of Radioactive Material in Transport written by IAEA and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated version of IAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 9, Security of Radioactive Material in Transport, is intended to facilitate the establishment of an internationally consistent approach to security of radioactive material in transport. It builds on the relevant recommendations of various existing IAEA Nuclear Security Series publications and is applicable to the security of packages containing radioactive material that could cause unacceptable radiological consequences if used in a malicious act during international or domestic transport. It is also relevant to the security of some nuclear materials of category III and below during transport, due to the radioactive nature of the material. Guidance on protection against unauthorized removal and sabotage is also covered.

Download or read book Transportation written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal agencies responsible for the safe transportation of nuclear materials have not developed and enforced policies and regulations which adequately protect the public from exposure to radiation during shipments. The Department of Transportation (DOT), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the Department of Energy (DOE) have responsibilities for the safe and secure transportation of nuclear materials. These agencies could strengthen their safety and security procedures. Inspection procedures do not adequately assure that containers meet federal safety specifications. DOT and NRC allow levels of radioactive contamination of packages and transport vehicles which are unnecessarily high. Neither DOT nor NRC adequately inspects shippers and carriers for compliance with Federal transportation regulations. DOE and NRC require special security measures for shipments of weapons-grade plutonium and highly enriched uranium when the amount being transported reaches a specified quantity called the strategic level. However, current federal regulations for protecting less than strategic quantities are inadequate. Neither DOT nor NRC has the authority to require states to develop emergency plans for transportation accidents involving nuclear materials. Over 20 percent of the states, however, have passed legislation or regulations governing the transportation of radioactive materials.

Book Safe and Secure Transport and Storage of Radioactive Materials

Download or read book Safe and Secure Transport and Storage of Radioactive Materials written by Ken Sorenson and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe and Secure Transport and Storage of Radioactive Materials reviews best practice and emerging techniques in this area. The transport of radioactive materials is an essential operation in the nuclear industry, without which the generation of nuclear power would not be possible. Radioactive materials also often need to be stored pending use, treatment, or disposal. Given the nature of radioactive materials, it is paramount that transport and storage methods are both safe and secure. A vital guide for managers and general managers in the nuclear power and transport industries, this book covers topics including package design, safety, security, mechanical performance, radiation protection and shielding, thermal performance, uranium ore, fresh fuel, uranium hexafluoride, MOX, plutonium, and more. - Uniquely comprehensive and systematic coverage of the packaging, transport, and storage of radioactive materials - Section devoted to spent nuclear fuels - Expert team of authors and editors

Book Basic Of Transport And Storage Of Radioactive Materials

Download or read book Basic Of Transport And Storage Of Radioactive Materials written by Toshiari Saegusa and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe and secure transport and storage of radioactive materials are essential for sustainable nuclear fuel cycle. The basic technologies are matured, but they have been progressively developed to make transport and storage safer and more secure. Safe and secure culture that encourages a questioning and learning attitude and that discourages complacency should be fostered and maintained. This book provides current basis of safe and secure transport and storage so that those technologies can be readily traced, improved, or modified, if necessary, for and by the future generations.This book overviews current available information in the literature. It also covers advanced technology on similar subjects in the literature. On top of that, new and valuable subjects are introduced for readers to grasp the wide spectrum of the safe and secure transport and storage technology. The contents are arranged and divided into three sections, I: Safety of Transport, II: Safety of Storage, III: Security of Transport and Storage.

Book Transportation for the Nuclear Industry

Download or read book Transportation for the Nuclear Industry written by D.G. Walton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transport requirements of the nuclear industry are unique in many respects. Thi s is not because cargoes are particularly large or hazardous by compari son wi th other industries but because standards of performance required in every aspect of the activity are so much greater than those required for any other industry. Transport of nuclear materials is subject to existing statutory regulations applied not only nationally but internationally. In addition to this, users of transport demand the highest standards of performance for their own purposes particularly in the area of quality assurance. Similar considerations also apply to the transport of non-nuclear materials where the transport link often has to tie in with project management and quality assurance requirements. Safety and security of nuclear materials are of paramount importance but even when these aspects are of a completely acceptable standard public attitudes to the transport activities have to be addressed adequately. The transport system itself consists of many components. The route, the vehicles, the containers, and the individual packages. The performance of each component determines the performance of the total system: all these factors were presented in the 1988 Conference on Transportation for the Nuclear Industry, giving a broad over-view of current practice together with wide ranging consideration of future requirements and developments.
